Thank you, Logos! http://www.logos.com/product/8825/vatican-ii-documents
I think in my living room, I would have already resorted to name calling at this point
[:D] [:D] [:D]
The wording of that forum guideline got me in to a bit of trouble because in my living room there is much debate, satire, criticism and verbal sparring. I had to tighten up my personal application of that rule by telling myself to control my speech as if I was in somebody else's living room. After all, I do not visit a prospect's home and attack him verbally for disagreeing with my views. I just go back to my home and say it out of his earshot. [6]
My order is placed.

These are public domain as they were originally published in the 1800's.
Yes...and the LDS website is pretty good at searching but not at all like Logos capability....which is what i'm looking for obviously! [:O]
If I might address WD40 for a second....
I too, struggled with adding certain things to Logo's product line....it took a lot of thought and some forum members politely pointed out that Logos is a research tool...they cannot be in the business of limiting resources based on who's defining orthodox or not.....
The more I thought about it....the more I realized....that my agreement or disagreement with a certain resource isn't the arbiter of the "Logos Canon" if I might steal a theological term...
I welcome all types of resources....I'm not obligated to buy any i don't like.
As a Protestant minister who was raised as a Catholic I am very pleased to see this resource soon to be available for Logos. I was an active Catholic during the years of Vatican II (preteen to early teen) so it will be very educational and perhaps somewhat nostalgic for a time when I didn't question so much..
Thank you Logos!!! [Y]
I’m disappointed when my home page show up so much stuff from Roman Catholic falsehoods.
Good thing I know that when people are this strongly anti-Catholic it tends to be because God has sunk his fishing hook pretty deeply into their throat and is pulling the line... Unhooked fish have no problem swimming right under the fisherman's boat; only hooked fish swim straight away with all their might. You'll be welcome when you're ready. [:P]
Of course, if I didn't know that, I might be tempted to suggest that you put yourself in my shoes for a minute and thought about how disappointing it must be for me when my home page show up so much stuff from Evangelical falsehoods... [:P]
Hmmm.... Catholics have known Paul for around 1980 years and had problems with him only before he headed to Damascus. In fact, good old Paul came to discuss it with us when there were questions re: requirements for Gentile conversions. [;)]
Every time I see a post like this, there are so many things that come to my mind. But then I member the words of Jesus in Mathew 5:11-12
[:D]
(I do not intend to offend any Roman Catholic members of the community, but I happen to hold that all christians are members of the "One holy catholic church" which means that we too are entitled to call ourselves catholic)
It's funny how differently Protestants think about this. In Sweden only Catholics (and Orthodox?) use the work 'katolsk' in the Creed; Protestants use 'allmännelig', which doesn't translate very well, but I guess 'common' might be the closest, if you remove all negative connotations from that word. If you tried to tell anyone here below clearly High Church that he should think of himself as 'catholic', he'd probably accuse you of trying to bring him and everyone else back under Rome. [:D]
Glad to see more Catholic resources
Catechism next please!
so far the only place where Logos has given us the work of the great 20th Century Catholic theologians like Congar, de Lubac, Rahner, Ratzinger, etc. I hope for more.
Also very glad to see a Catholic resource gather interest this fast! Right now it's at 86%! It might well reach a 100% by Monday. Yippee! (Where's the smiley for that? We need one!)
And very glad for this new partnership with Libreria Editrice Vaticana (yes, the Nova Vulgata is from them as well, but that one isn't exactly gathering interest fast...). That should open the way for e g encyclicals. Which is another thing I'm very eager to have!

That's somewhat funny since I've always thought of myself as distinctly low church [though I was raised a Fundamentalist -- not too different from our lubricant friend]. Today I only wish that my Fundamentalist friends would learn to read so that they might properly understand the scriptures -- Oh well, they're still my friends and I still have sympathy for their position since I understand the reasons which lie behind it. I don't really think that "allemännelig" needs translation since it's pretty obvious.

I'd momentarily forgotten about our friend's penetratingly oily moniker and thought you were making an oblique reference to the enthusiastic young Fundamentalist lubricant salesman in The Big Kahuna.
